Are you defending Russia or what?  What is your point?  Could you attempt to articulate a point please?

You have to understand the difference between the "news" of the media you read and the News that free press can and does publish. About poking the bear... well the UK did not kill a dissident in Moscow with Polonium. That is poking.

On regards to UK becoming "small Britain", well, your comment is right... just 107 years old because it started with WW I.

Sounds like projection to me. This comment could only come from someone who doesn't live next to the border. Do you really think we are not aware what's happening next door when we have 1,340 km border with them. Do you really think we need to listen US for that and we don't have our own intelligence? You can do better than that. I am guessing that this is a non-issue for you as you don't have to think about it daily. We don't have that luxury of trolling with this subject. But we deal trolls that do every day.

So instead of trolling, try empathy next time.

In most Western countries the press is much more independent than in Russia.  In the US, anyone, including journalists from major media outlets, are free to criticize the government without having to fear going to jail or worse.

For any example of what you consider to be western media propaganda, you can find other western media arguing against it.  Hell, there are some main stream media outlets that regularly repeat Russian propaganda here.  The press has freedom to publish what they like, and the people have freedom to choose which sources they rely on for information.  That's what western media really is, fyi.

Sorry, your stupid post incited me to call you out for your support of RIPPLE'S FRAUD and your support of PUTIN'S WAR. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5382794.msg60209344#msg60209344
Why always supporting criminals? 

Please enlighten us why the glorious Russian military has resorted to using such an inferior Iranian product, instead of their own vastly superior drones or missiles.

If you aren't paid Russian troll, you should ask for money from Kremlin. Because otherwise you are just working them for free. Maybe you'll get a medal from Putin.

Most of Russian trolls here in Finland are easy to spot as you, i am not sure why as they could do way better job hiding their agenda. But i am not complaining as when they are acting like mental patients they are not doing any harm.

But anyway... As a Finn, our education system has done a good job teaching media criticism in public shool and making us resistant for Russian propaganda in general. Most of us can see it from miles away as we have long history with it. We have been in information war against them since CCCP and while Russia has been using every leverage they can, their resources seem now to have depleted for the war in ukraine. There are occasional reddit and some attacks but that's mainly it.

In fact the whole illegal attack to Ukraine seem to have unified the whole Finland, lot's of peaceful hippies are regretting that they did choose civilian service instead of military service in during mandatory national conscription. People seem to have more focused of getting rid of polarisation and fake news. And while most of Finland didn't want to join into NATO just while ago, the whole attitude changed immediately after invasion.

I changed my mind that day. There wasn't really even an option for me. Putin was unhinged and just too dangerous. Not to mention the weird conservative values he holds dear.

Living next to Russia makes us scared, and things have never been this intense since our winter war (*edit* Continuation War). What scares me most is that i can't see any other way out of from this then change in leadership in Russia. In that way they either get even crazier leader or point the blame to crazy putin. There are not going to be peace with Putin, that's for sure.

Understood nothing! Which President? Whose President? Could you be specific?

This is much better than being a copy of Putin's tyrant.

This nonsense is not commented. This user is exactly a copy of Putin on the forum.

Lol!  You really don't see anything wrong with that, do you?  The little wrinkle in your (seemingly almost universal to Ukrainian) strategy is that once you are an admitted (and proud of it!) liar, nobody believes anything you say.  Even when it happens to be factual.

On top of that, the people of Ukraine need your kind of 'hope' like they need a hole in the head.  This false hope has resulted in the death and displacement of probably millions by now and a significantly shrunken area called 'Ukraine', and things promise to get worse from here.  I get the strong sense that that is exactly the goal of a lot of you pricks and your inane bullshit.  Possibly every one of you.  It's interesting that 'your type' seem to have such a strong correlation with the 'merit point cycling club' merry band of influencer retards.

Since it was against one person, there must be thousands of terrorists in Nato, attacking people in different Nato countries.

The word 'terrorism' was coined by governments to eventually give them the excuse to interfere if you and your next door neighbor have a disagreement. Why would they want to interfere? Simply to control people in whatever way they can. Call it what it is, a crime, or maybe a violent crime. Or in the case of nations, a CIA action, even if the CIA isn't involved.

You know you have a fake news addiction issue when you have to use Iranian "news" sources to satisfy the craving.

I heard some commentator say the Russians could be drawing not only Ukraine but allied forces into a trap and that there could be some type of nuclear incident by either side to provoke allied troops to cross the border into Ukraine but then they would most likely be met with a full nuclear response within the borders of Ukraine which would not legally trigger article 5 or something to this effect.Does anyone think this is a possibility or would the Russians foolishly use a nuclear weapon in Ukraine.After all Ukraine is also bordering their country and the fallout would affect them too not to mention the possibility of a full scale invasion of Russia as a response.This then would start a global nuclear war.This is getting very dangerous and only a fool would imagine it won't affect them because they are on the other side of the planet.If a nuclear war starts we will all be dead or dying within 24 hours and that includes most of us on this thread

Sure, that is why the SUs and MIG are all over Ukraine supporting the ground forces -  Except for the fact that they are absolutely absent since day 0. RF air superiority, which was taken for granted even by Ukraine allies has proven to be non-existant. It is just another of the myths about the RF army that have been vanished after this botched aggression that has benefited only the US.

Russia is using drones and missiles, many of which are intercepted and many of which are inaccurate to the point of being useless because they cannot risk planes and pilots to missions in a relatively well defended sky. Trying to win a war by cutting civilians from water, electricity, hospitals and schools is useless.

Russian military power is a mirage. Their last major victory was against nazi Germany (thus the bizarre fixation on nazis even to this day) 80 years ago but even that comes with some caveats, such as lend-lease, second front, and the amount of cannon fodder Stalin used up.

Since then they failed in Afghanistan, barely defeated Chechnia (a nation of ~1.5 million) by bombing it into rubble, and incited some smaller conflicts (Moldova, Georgia, Ukraine pre 2022). They haven't been able to create any substantially new weapons and can barely maintain old soviet equipment. Corruption in all levels of Russian government, including military, is legendary.

Here is an interesting analysis on how their claims differ from reality: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHhgVrKJJoA
tl;dr: claimed to have 10+ thousand tanks, may have actually had 3000 potentially usable ones before the start of the war.
